Explanation
1. NEED:
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Utilities to modify the professional engineering services contract with URS Corporation for purposes of incorporating the design of replacement starters and rehabilitation of motors and blowers in connection with the Southerly Wastewater Treatment Plant Electrical System Upgrade Project, for the Division of Sewerage and Drainage.

2. PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES CT. MOD. AWARD :
This contract is being funded incrementally by modification as the work progress through the planned project steps from preliminary design through services during construction. The contract total including this modification is $312,393.00. This additional work could not have been foreseen at the original time this contract was awarded, due to the fact that the manufacturer for the existing starters no longer supports this equipment. Incorporating this additional work at this time is the most cost efficient means for accomplishing the total rehabilitation long term goals for this system. It is not deemed either feasible or reasonable to suspend work with the entities currently under contract and undertake continuation of the work under a new procurement. The cost of the modification is a continuation of the contractors' current pricing structure, as verified by City staff. The existing contract provides for this mechanism.

3. FISCAL IMPACT: There will be sufficient authority in the 2003 Capital Improvements Budget for the expenditure upon passage of this ordinance. This project work will be funded at a future date by a loan from the State of Ohio Water Pollution Control Loan Fund (WPCLF) which is jointly administered by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio Water Development Authority.
